Axis Communications knows that the average surveillance camera doesn’t cut it in the cold. With New England facing a “bomb cyclone” this weekend, maybe it’s time to start thinking about how you can protect your premises even in extreme cold.

If you’ve ever tried to use your smartphone when the temperature is in the teens, you know that electronics and cold don’t mix well.

Axis Arctic Temperature Control is a system of technologies that protects your IP camera from the cold, even in the event of a power outage. Arctic Temperature Control cameras are rated to the meeting point of Fahrenheit and Celsius, all the way down at -40°.

An Axis Q6034-E (an earlier model of the current Axis Q6054-E Mk II) made it all the way to the edge of space in -90°C conditions!

Axis Cold Weather Cameras

Like all cold weather cameras, Axis Arctic Temperature Control cameras include a heater inside the camera housing.

The heater requires extra power for operation, but Axis cold weather cameras can still be PoE or PoE+ compatible. Make sure to check your product in case you need a more powerful PoE injector or PoE switch to guarantee operation of the heating unit.

This is just the basics, though. It’s what Axis does with its heater that sets their cameras apart.

Intelligent Heating

Axis Arctic Temperature Control means intelligent heating.

If the power goes out and your camera gets frozen, turning on the heat at a normal temperature can severely damage or even brick your camera.

That’s why Axis uses intelligent technology to slowly and safely heat your camera in the event of a power outage.
